Lem/rs Patent No. 91,326, dated .new 15, 1869.

IMPROVE!) SASHfCORD FASTENING.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom Itana/ 1; conce/rn Beit known that I, JOHN G. GABEL, of Lebanon,

in the county of Lebanon, and State of Pennsylvania,

have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sash- Cord Fastenings; andI do hereby .declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists in making a recess in the Wood or sash itself, of such form as to receive the cord, with a knot thereon, and seize and hold the same, without any other meansof fastening, and at the same time to allow the cord to be removed with ease.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure lis a side View of a portion of a windowsash, with my improvement.

Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same.

In the construction of my improved cord-fastener, a hole may be bored into the sash, as seen at A, fig. 1. Then another hole is bored obliqnely, as seen at B, Iig. 2, thus forming a recess to receive the knot O of the cord D, and hold the same securely in place, without any other fastening.

The groove E, in the sash, allows the cord to pass between two projections, or lips F, and thus prevents the knot from falling or being drawn out.

This fastening is very simple, cheap, and eilcient, and the cord is easily attached thereby, or removed therefrom.

I am aware that windowcords have been fastened by meansof metallic hooks, or jaws, inserted into the side of the sash, to receive the cord and knot; but my invention is simpler, cheaper, and quite as eicient.

Having` thus fully described my invention,

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

The abovedescribed fastening for sash-cords, the same being a recess made in the wood or sash itself, so as to receive and hold the cord, by seizing the knot, substantially in the manner set forth.

JOHN G. GABEL.
